It’s easy to narrow down the movie options in New York this weekend: Kabluey. It’s at Cinema Village. Buy tickets here. See a hilariously melancholy, cautiously life-affirming movie about the unexpected magic a round-blue-headed corporate mascot creates for a scattered military household in chaos, a Thermos-loving man, a big-eyed beauty in a supermarket, a lady-killing boss, and indeed, an entire town—and help a talented first-time feature-filmmaker at the same time. How can you lose? You can’t! Every Emdashes reader who goes to see it this weekend will get a treat. Email me on Monday. It’s a good one.
